A timeline of the Kim family's trip and the search for them.

At a Thursday press conference, Lt. Gregg Hastings of the Oregon State Police shared details provided by Kati Kim of how the family became stranded and what searchers learned about the final days of James Kim’s life.

Friday, Nov. 17: The Kim family departs San Francisco in family car for Seattle.

Friday, Nov. 24: The Kims leave Seattle for Portland.

Saturday, Nov. 25: The Kims leave Portland for the Tu Tu Tun Lodge in Gold Beach. They are last seen eating dinner at a Denny’s in Roseburg, leaving around 9 pm to drive through the mountains to the coast.

The Kims miss their intended turnoff. At about 10:30 pm, they instead turn west onto Bear Camp Road. Kati Kim describes the road as “confusing.” They see signs warning of possible snow ahead. It begins snowing.

The Kims decide to turn back but the road is difficult to follow. Kati Kim describes snow falling hard as James drives the car in reverse back down the road with his driver door open so he can see where he’s going.

At some point, the family winds up on a road that forks off Bear Camp Road. They continue about 15 more miles before they stop for the night. It is now about 2 a.m.

Computer records show one of the Kims' cell phones receiving two text messages around 1:30 a.m.

Sunday, November 26: Snow and rain fall throughout the day. The Kims stay in their car, turning the engine at times on for warmth.

Monday, November 27: Snow continues, falling heavily at times. Again, the Kims stay in the car, running the engine briefly for warmth but they are low on fuel.

Tuesday, November 28: More snow and rain.

Wednesday, November 29: The weather starts to clear.

Thursday, November 30: The Kims take their spare tire and set it on fire for warmth.

Friday, December 1: The Kims burn all four remaining tires. Kati Kim reports hearing a helicopter nearby.

Saturday, December 2: James Kim makes a fateful decision to hike out to get help. He believes, wrongly, that he is only five miles from the town of Galice. In fact, he is about 15 miles away. He sets out with a packpack and extra clothes at 7:40 a.m., telling Kati he expects to be back by 1 p.m. He builds a fire for his wife and children before he leaves. It is the last time Kati will see her husband alive.

Monday, Dec. 4: At about 1:45 p.m., a helicopter spots Kati Kim and her two children near the family car. The mother and two girls are rescued safely.

Tuesday, Dec. 5: Search and rescue personnel find clothes identified as those of James Kim, arranged in a pattern that may have been intended to give searchers clues to his whereabouts.

Wednesday, Dec. 6: Shortly after 12 p.m., the body of James Kim is found at the bottom of Big Windy Creek, half a mile from the Rogue River. He is found face up, fully clothed, in one to two feet of water.

Searchers conclude that a “highly motivated” James traveled 10 miles in blue jeans and sneakers over rugged terrain before succumbing to exposure and hypothermia.
